Notes

[24] Moses chose a delegation of seventy people from the Children of Israel to go to Mount Tūr to receive the Tablets. He was in haste to meet his Lord, so he rushed to the appointment and arrived before his people, leaving them behind. See (7:143-145)

"And what made you hasten from your people, O Mûsâ (Moses)?"

And (it was said): What hath made thee hasten from thy folk, O Moses?

(When Moses was up on the Mount, Allah said:) "What made thee hasten in advance of thy people, O Moses?"

And what caused you to hasten from your people, O Musa?

"And what has made you hasten from your people, O Musa?"
